Dear Father:
Vry
ur letter of :iay 23 came last Thursdaywor
Friday, and that of June A came just an hour or so ago#
I am sorry notfto have written sooner thisfweek, but^during
the day it seems hard "to find time and nearly every night t:
something is going on; and besides, unless I so to the church
or write while the baby'is awake, there is noVnance to use
the typewriter. . h' -, |
Today the baby is two months old. Ruth just
spoke of your letter coming the day she was born, and now
again on the- twenty-eighth. While I was!telling herfthe
contents of your letter, the baby^seemed tofbe restless, and
Ruth said to the baby, ''Listen + o what your grandfather has
ho say'1. We asked the photographer to come this morning,
and he took three pictures. He worked for an hour to gfet
good ones, but the baby would. notfemile when we wanted to
take a picture, so he took themfcwith just a serious expression. When the baby iaugjhs, itfis especially attractive, and
I had hoped for one picture iauschinc. I hope there
wil
1 be
at least one out of the three -pictures worth sending to you.
*— "--"ft' ^*T??' ■/
Everyone asks if we have had a picture -taken and if we have
sent a picture t of the grandfather. Ruthfsays if you could
see the babv vou would be very hap.ny, for ^he says it looks
like me; and then, too, it is strong and exceptionally alert.
Of course it sounds like thefusual parental pride to say
such things, but everyone sayshthe baby is unusually pretty
and intelligent looking and looks as well developed as an
older child. Ruth makes an ideal mother; she. spares no
labor and yet is always happy about it; and is wise in her
care. She is a diligent reader bfi all literature on children
and child training which fails into her hands, ^he women of
